Hi,

I recently watched a video where Linux added Led Strips to the Back ports Of his P.C .

I have looked for the video everywhere but I cannot find it :/ .

Does anyone have a link?

Many thanks :)

How is that? Just wire them to a molex cable or if you dare, a fan connector for voltage control.

 

Yes those will work perfect for the situation you described but not for USB power which is what was used. USB can only provide 5V with a max of 0.5-1Amp for most ports.
